Middle Atlantic PCR-2X320A 20A MPR RCWY ASSY,2 CT

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic PCR-2X320A is a 20-amp MPR (Multi-Purpose Raceway) assembly in a 2-count configuration, providing in-rack power distribution for AV installations. MPR raceway assemblies mount inside the rack and distribute 20A circuit power to multiple equipment outlets without consuming rack unit space for a standalone PDU. The 2-count configuration provides two raceway units in a single order, suitable for larger rack builds or multi-rack deployments. Available at creationnetworks.net.

Product Description

Power distribution in AV racks requires more than a standard power strip. Middle Atlantic's MPR raceway system is designed specifically for rack integration, mounting inside the rack frame's side channels to distribute power without occupying rack unit (RU) space that would otherwise be used for equipment. The PCR-2X320A provides two 20-amp MPR raceway units, each capable of distributing 20A of circuit capacity across multiple outlets positioned along the raceway's length. This is appropriate for high-current AV loads such as power amplifiers, video processing systems, and multi-outlet equipment requiring 20A service. Mounting inside the rack side channel keeps the raceway out of the equipment bay while maintaining accessible outlet positions at the rear or side of mounted equipment. The MPR format is compatible with Middle Atlantic rack families that include side channel provisions; confirm rack compatibility before ordering. The 20A rating requires a 20A dedicated circuit at the rack location; standard 15A branch circuits are not sufficient for full 20A MPR loads. The 2-count packaging (PCR-2X320A) provides two units, appropriate for large equipment bays or deployments where a pair of racks are being built simultaneously. AV integrators use the MPR system to provide clean, organized power distribution that integrates with the overall rack design rather than adding external power strips or loose PDUs.

Key Features

• 20A MPR raceway — Distributes 20-amp circuit power to multiple outlets within the rack.
• 2-count assembly — Two raceway units per order; appropriate for large bays or paired rack deployments.
• Side-channel mounting — Mounts inside the rack frame, preserving rack unit space for equipment.
• AV-optimized design — Built for the power distribution demands of professional AV rack systems.
• Multiple outlet positions — Outlets distributed along the raceway length for flexible equipment connections.

Typical Applications

• High-current AV rack builds with power amplifiers or video processing systems requiring 20A service
• Paired rack deployments where two MPR units are needed simultaneously
• Corporate AV equipment rooms requiring clean, integrated power distribution
• Broadcast and production facilities with high in-rack power demands
• Any installation where rack unit space must be preserved for equipment rather than PDUs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many outlets does each MPR raceway unit provide?

A: Outlet count varies by MPR configuration. Review the product documentation or contact Creation Networks for the specific outlet count and spacing for the PCR-2X320A.

Q: Does the 20A MPR require a dedicated circuit?

A: Yes. A 20A MPR raceway requires a dedicated 20A branch circuit with a 20A receptacle at the rack location. Do not connect to a shared 15A circuit.

Q: Which Middle Atlantic rack families are compatible with the MPR side-channel mounting?

A: The MPR system is designed for Middle Atlantic rack families with side channel provisions including BGR, GRK, and MRK series. Confirm compatibility for your specific rack model before ordering.
